REPUBLICANS RELENT! ADMIT TO GROSS ERRORS OF JUDGEMENT!

In a remarkable turnaround just two days following the death
of Conservative Icon, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, Antonin Scalia, and
only one day after Republicans universally derided and demonized Obama as an
illegitimate usurper of the Constitution for even dreaming that he could
appoint Scalia’s successor, apparently even President Obama’s harshest critics
and uber-partisans, are today united in their abject shame over their unseemly,
unprofessional and intemperate performances of the past couple of days. Democrats, liberals and most progressives
applauded this newfound humility and opined that maybe Republicans have finally
come to their senses, or as Senate Minority leader, Harry Reid (D-NV) put, it
“They’ve finally seem to have come to the realization that their batshit crazy
mouthings sounded more like a cabal of crazy men who had escaped from the
lunatic asylum than cogent human beings.”

As the apologies and mea culpas poured forth across the
nation, the media prominently reported on the amazing utterances of erstwhile Republicans
who just yesterday were determined to ensure that Barack Hussein
Obama continued to be a one term President.But, according to the press, that’s all over now.A newfound spirit of cooperation and support
for the President has emerged.Here’s
what a few prominent Republicans had to say:

Mitch McConnell (R-KY)

In a starling about-face, the Senate Majority Leader
McConnell, early yesterday morning released this statement:“I will personally welcome whoever President
Obama nominates to fill the current vacancy on the Supreme Court and will
endeavor to work day and night to ensure that my Senate colleagues confirm the
nominee with all appropriate speed.And
I want to extend my heartfelt apology to President Obama for my rash comments of the day before yesterday.”McConnell
also apologized for also implying that the public has a role in selecting
Supreme Court justices.

Ted Cruz (R-TX)

“I offer my sincere and humble regret for implying that the President
does not have the authority to select a nominee for the Supreme Court.In re-reading Section Two of the Constitution
of the United States I find that on careful study and contemplation I
misspoke.”The Texas senator went out of
his way to correct his “…in 80 years we’ve never confirmed a Justice in an
election years” conclusion when news anchor Kelly Kacem, in an on-air interview
with the Senator, pointed out that Ronald
Reagan had done just that 20 some years ago.

Marco Rubio (R-FL)The Senator from Florida acknowledged that he had mis-spoken on Sunday's talk show where he refused to promise that if he were elected President he would not appoint a Supreme Court Justice during an election year. Cruz issued this clarifying statement: "I'm not sure what came over me when I refused this fair and thoughtful proposal. In beseeching God for guidance on this issue, I now promise that if elected President I will not nominate a Supreme Court Justice during an election year and additionally, I promise to be in the Senate chamber when Obama's nominee comes up for confirmation."

Dr. Ben Carson:

In a surprisingly loquacious statement released by his
campaign team via Twitter, Doctor Carson
apologized to President Obama for saying that Obama should not appoint a
nominee to replace Justice Scalia.While
Dr. Carson’s whereabouts were unknown (he’s believed to be showering in
Florida) chief campaign staffer, Duck Edwards, related that the Doctor was
feeling very shameful for his previous remarks and offered to meet with the President
to discuss potential Supreme Court nominees and to provide their health exams
at no cost to the Obama Administration.

Jeb Bush:

The ex-governor of Florida, referencing his brother’s 2000
election win and the Terri Schiavo interventions on the Sunday talk shows, stated
that: “I don’t think that a nomination
to the Supreme Court should be mired in partisan politics.It is vital to the continuation of a robust
discussion of the interpretation and application of the laws of the United
States that the nomination process remain above hurtful, divisive and
counterproductive political wrangling over the role of the Supreme Court.”

John Kasich (R-OH)

The Governor of Ohio reversed himself from his earlier
comments that Obama should not nominate a Justice to replace Scalia.Appearing on Fox News’ “Face the Nation,”
Kasich reiterated his stance that if he were President we wouldn’t have the
divisions we have today but offered an on-air apology to Obama for previously
saying he should not act since he is a lame-duck President.Kasich said: “I know that my apology to Obama
will cost me Evangelical votes but I will sign the Ohio State Legislature’s
bill defunding Planned Parenthood into law tomorrow so I’m hopeful that this
will appease them.”

Universal messages of chagrin and apology were proffered by Republican
officials and Presidential candidates around the country, all of which
retracted their previous statements about Obama’s lack of authority, taking the
law into his own hands, and further dividing the country along racial lines by
insisting that he would put forth a Supreme Court nominee to be confirmed by
the U.S. Senate.

Many liberal commentators, particular on MSNBC and the
Huffington Post, expressed delight at this radical turn of events in what has
become the most vitriolic, un-civil, bombastic and intemperate political
campaign of the Modern Era.Said one
commentator:

“I find it personally gratifying that Republicans have
finally come around to accepting the fact that Obama is legitimately our 44th
President of the United States and this gives me great hope for change in their
obstructionist actions during the last year of his Presidency.Perhaps a degree of sanity has returned to
the Republican Party that we have seen grow more batshit crazy over the past several
decades.On this President’s Day, it makes me very
hopeful that we might see a great deal more cooperation from them in
implementing Obama’s agenda and beginning to heal the great divide in the
American public they have fostered for over thirty years.”

Have A Hopeful and Changeful President’s Day!

NOTE: Hey, if every single Republican candidate for the most important
office in the land can make shit up and ignore data, facts and statistics, why
not me?

PS:We have about two
inches of snow on the ground here in the Capital of the Free Market World this
morning and more out in the suburbs - Southern Maryland got about 6
inches.And schools are closed
again.And it’s bloody freezing cold
again: 20 F/-5C. But since this is
President’s Day, a kind of weird semi-holiday with an uncertain status when it
comes to having the day off, apparently many folks have exercised their
personal responsibility and individual initiative and stayed home for the day.

I had a sudden revelation the other day while perusing the
veggie section of our local Whole Foods Market:I own not a single pair of “skinny
jeans.”How, you might ask, did I
suddenly stumble across this personal truth and profound revelation?Well, while fingering the “organic” bananas that always seem to be too green to me and comparing them to the
“regular, old fashioned, cheaper non-organic” ones, I noticed that I was in the
company of half a dozen young men all wearing skinny jeans and all examining organic
California oranges or the latest shipment of white asparagus – organic - also
from California.Now there was the
aspect that five out of the six young men (Millennials, I assumed) were very
easy on my eyes. On anyone's eyes if you want the truth. Some sported very chic short-trimmed beards, strong chiseled chins, sparkling eyes, ad worthy faces, and a couple who looked quite buff in their chest hugging checked lumberjack shirts …

PART ONE If you haven’t kept up with the right wing’s
latest attacks on liberals for protesting and resisting Trump then you probably
will disagree with me that I believe that we are heading for new wave of
violence against liberal demonstrators, protesters and resistors as well as against free speech and
the continued diminishment of basic civil and human rights right here in
America. We’ve seen such actions before
during the Civil Rights and Anti-Vietnam War days of the 1960’s.With our backs against the well, as they
surely are today, and the national atmosphere even more repressive with the
Trump Administration, you can depend on it. Why do I say what’s happening to us today
resembles what happened to African Americans during Jim Crow?In no way do I intend to portray the “plight”
of liberals and progressives today as analogous to the post Civil War situation
of African Americans following the passage of the 13th
Amen…

CAN WHITE MEN COMPETE IN THE DICK SIZE COMPETITION?ADVISORY: I write this
piece in a spirit of newsworthiness and fun.It contains language that might be offensive to some.But, if you are among the half of American
voters who supported Trump, then you’ll be accustomed to “Tellin’ It Like It
Is,” “Straight, Non-PC Language” “And Pussy Grabbing” as popular news items.
Okay, so the average size of White men’s cocks as opposed to
the average size of Black men’s cocks, may not seem like some vital issue
America needs to resolve immediately.But if you think that the question “Do Black Men Have Bigger Cocks Then
White Men? “ is just a benign offshoot of the culture wars, for example, you
would be wrong.Among White American
males there is probably no single issue – income inequality, illegal
immigration and gun control notwithstanding – that is a more important issue
facing them (us) today.Now, of course,
this is not a topic that The Donald or The Bern addressed in their political
campaigns – …

One Baby Boomer who's sick and tired of being slammed for being a liberal. It's not a four letter word! In fact it's a 7 letter word! One small effort to restore humanity to America before it's too late, if it isn't already.
